On the 757 we don't taxi out single engine (5 min warm up thing I guess), just in. Everyone else does as far as I know.

Justdoinmyjob,
SE taxi varies by fleet. 330 we can single engine taxi to certain gates on the taxi in after 5 minutes. Crossbleed only with an apu inop. In fact, we just got a new apu policy of starting the apu taxing into the gate for safety, whole bunch of other reasons.

I will say that some things have appeared to be flipping 180 in the last two days or last week.
A lot of little things seems to be changing. I guess we will see what we see tomorrow.

Don't know. They took it off the checklist years ago, but I've heard they are discussing the procedure again for obvious reasons. Like I said, I guess so you don't screw up the 5 min warm up is all I can figure.
The taxi in single engine is encouraged and most guys do on the long straight aways with few high power turns like in DTW or NRT. NRT the taxi back can be 10 to 15 minutes.......really wierd airport, you'll like it alot

PS anyone find the planebusiness article yet?

"Did the Delta/Northwest Merger Just Hit an IT Iceberg?"
My biggest fear has been merging the computer systems. What kicked US Air in the butt (among other things) and NWO and Republic wayyy back..........anyway, guy on the NWA ALPA board talked about it but didn't post the article.
